And today we have word via Safran that he expects The Trench will open before Aquaman 2.
It was recently announced that not only would Aquaman 2 be hitting theaters on December 16, 2022, but director James Wan and producer Peter Safran are also prepping a spin-off movie The Trench.
But that said, the producer did let us know that The Trench will take place following the events of the original Aquaman.
All of these titles are set to be unleashed before James Wan’s Aquaman 2 and so there’s really no telling at this point in time just where The Trench fits into DC’s plans.
